As a programmer, I work out five times each week to boost my coding skills.

Here’s why you should too.
Most people think of coding as a sedentary activity, but the truth is it requires a lot of mental and physical stamina.

After all, coders need to be able to concentrate for long periods while sitting in front of a computer screen.
They also need to have the dexterity to type quickly and accurately.

As a result, many coders are turning to strength training as a way to improve their coding abilities.
Strength training helps coders in several ways.

First, it helps to improve stamina and concentration.

By building up their endurance, coders can increase the amount of time they can spend coding without getting fatigued.
In addition, strength training can help to improve the dexterity needed for coding.

By improving muscle strength and control in their hands and fingers, coders can type more quickly and accurately.
Finally, strength training can help reduce the risk of injuries from repetitive motions.

By strengthening the muscles and joints used in coding, coders can minimize their risk of developing pain or other injuries from typing.
In short, strength training is an effective way for coders to improve their abilities.

By increasing endurance, improving dexterity, and reducing the risk of injuries, strength training can help coders code better and faster.

Hey @localhost876 that's a really good question. This is how I would go about determining the appropriate price for a website, app, or any other product.

1. The cost of your time: How much is your time worth? This includes the time you spend working on the project..

See more🧵
as well as the time you spend on administrative tasks like billing and invoicing.

2. The cost of your materials: Evaluate the cost of things like hosting, domain names, and software licenses.
3. The level of complexity: Simple websites or apps are quicker and easier to build, so they should be priced accordingly. More complex websites will take more time and effort.

Looking back on my tech career, I am remembering when I was paid $200 USD to build a whole college website 😂😂😂😂

When I first learned web design in college, I was really excited about it.

I was so pumped to start building websites and getting paid for my work.
I was referred to another college that wanted to build a website, and I took the job without thinking too much about it.

So my friend and I built out a 10-page website for them, as well as an application system.
I proudly presented it to the client.

They were happy with it but said they couldn't afford to pay us more than $200.

$200 sounded like a lot of money to me back then so I figured it was better than nothing.

So we took the money split it in half went grocery shopping.

Watercooler chat is the secret sauce of happy, productive teams.

But it's too informal for corporate environments.

Here's how digital tools like Slack and Donut solve that problem:
Every week, I get to meet multiple coworkers from all across the globe with a bot in our Slack called donut - donut.com
It is quite helpful because the natural watercooler conversations are lost since we aren’t in an office.

Donut helps us to build meaningful relationships across the company.

Back in 1999, when everyone was still using Nokia 5110s, my dad climbed a breadfruit tree to get a phone signal.

Then everything changed when the Nokia 3310 was released in 2000.

My dad could finally talk to people without having to go outside.

Though it was basic by ....🧵 Image
.... today's standards, it had a lot of features that made it amazing.



For one, it had long battery life, so you could go days without having to charge it.



It also had a tough build, so it could withstand being dropped or thrown around. Image
And if you were ever bored, you could always play the classic game Snake.



In short, the Nokia 3310 was a great phone and it's no wonder that it's still fondly remembered by many people today. Image
